YOUR INDUSTRY.
1. If industry is human exer-
tion, occupation is the particular
object to be accomplished by this
exeition. The meaning then Is,
that all labor shall turn upon a
definite point. During school
life, the supreme object should be
to train the mind and the heart.
Besides this consideration, all
other objects are of small impor-
tance. When this is done, ear
nestly and faithfully, as every
honest student should do and will
do, then select. the definite life
work-the occupation that shall
engage the power of body, mind
and heart. If there are stepping
stones to the life-work, let each
be the center Of exertion for the
time being. Aim at definite OBJ
ject during school-llfe and in after
school-life. Don't drift upon the
current. Be not a jack at-all>
trades and good-at-nene. Scorn
to play study while at school.
SELECT YOUR LIFE WORK WITH CARE,
AND PERsEvERE IN THAT WORK
TO THE END.
2. If care is necessary in the
selection of material for build
ing and in it's construction. how
much more care should be exer-
cised in the selection of that oc-
cupatIon which is to engage our
life's energies. A wise choice In
regard to this matter IS an impor-
tant step in life. Be reasonable
in this matter, consider carefully,
aspire manfully, act promptly,
decide firmly. Scorn to spend
life in idleness. Scorn to be a
hoodlum, vagrant, an Arab, a
dude or nincompoop. Boy or
girl. scorn to be the butterfly of
fashion-the chief figure in the
society tableaux. Be somebody,
and live for something, ana let
that something be worth respect
full attention. Be not easily dis
couraged in your ife-work. At
tend to your business with fdel-
ity, study it with care. Know all
about it. Manage 1t, direct it,
and persevere in it. Keep the
grass and weeds down In your
business. Resolve upon success
with manly care, manly courage
and manly perseverance, and sue
cess with Gods blessing will
attend your honest, faithful eff
forts.
DO YOUR BHsr IN THE WORK THAT
YOU PROPOSE TO HONOR WITH
YOUR ExERTIoN.
8. Make yourself useful. Study
how this may be done. Use your
eyes. Keep the. e.hands out OF the
pocket. Show some life, interest
and energy IN your work. Use
common sense. Show yourself

religion it is but step to
sneering at morality, and then but
one step more to a vicious and
protligate career. How are YOU
going to stop this tendency
When you have stripped him of
former restraints, do you leave
him anything IN their stead, ex-
cept indeed sense of honor,
self-rcspect and self-interest p
worthy motives, no doubt, but all
too feeble to withstand the fearful
temptations that sssail him. Is
the chance of his resistance as

places of evil resort, Of drinking

first time Iauses to listen. How
long will it be before he will ven

With such dangers in his path,
it is grave responsibility to
loosen the restraints which hold
such a young man to virtue.
These gibcs and sneers which you
utter so lightly, may have a sad
echo in lost character and o

Gen Bragg, Of Wisconsin,
shows by figures that the loudest
and bitterest shriekers against the
South are men who enlisted in
regiments organized in the spring
of 1865, and which never fired d
gun or lost man. When the war
was practically Overland the whole
country knew that the Confed-
eracy was doomed, there was a
great rash of patriots into the
recruiting Offices scatteredthrough-
out the Northern States. These
men were aware OF the fact that
ther would not be called upon to
fire gun, and enlisted in order
to secure the large bounties offer
ed by the government. These
men are the battle-scarred vet
Grams in whose interest the de-
pendent pension bill was framed.

The shipments Of lumber from
the port of Pascagoula, Miss
lssippi, for the week ending July
18th, was only 52l,490 feet OF
lumber, and $1,000 shingles.
This was due to the unusual fact
that there were no foreign ship
ments. A queer feature OF the
weeks business was the showing
that all of the shipments went to
States that are regarded as rivals
of Mississippi in this limo OF trade !;
100000 feet of lumber was con-
signed to dealers in Wilmington,
North Carolina, and 141 ,49O feet
of lumber and $1,000 shingles
were shipped to Key West.
Florida. Our Mississippi mills
are rapidly gaining on those
of Florida, in competition for the
supply Of the lumber wanted by
the people of the last named
States.-Aberdeen Examiner.

REPORT OF GEN. W. s. RosEURANs

Before eonsenting to render your enterprise
such assistance rs my limited time and cir
cumstances will permit, / carefully looked
over what your records and papers showed
concerning the property Of your company.
/. That your two contiguous claims, 500 feet
long and 600 feet wide each, have groupings of
a vein of gold.bearing quartz visible at the
surface for most Of their length, besides nu-
merous small stringers of the same kind of
quartz adjacent thereto and intersecting the
main vein.
2. That at some twenty or thirty poInts on
the vein, indicated on Cunninghanxe, map,
prepared under my directions, openings and
sinkings have been made, in all of which
specimens, and in many rich samples, OF gold
have been found in the quartz, which seems
to vary from five to ten inches in thickness
Some of these openings are cut from three TO
fourteen feet deep, and OH the north end OF
Ellen Jane is an incline 1872 feet deep. North
ward on the 'Tommanotta" 400 feet are two
shafts, one 10 feet and the other As feet deep.
Within the next hundred feet north are one Il
feet and one 20 feet deep.
Q. out OF ali these openings and shafts vein
matter and quartz have been taken, and OF the
quartz some have been selected for specimens,
giving the large assays mentioned In Mr.. Gun
ningham's letter, and samples, assays OF which
are also therein set forth.
Finally, selections from the ore thus eX-
tracted have been made, showing in "LedouX
and Ricketts, Assay Office Report of q thirty
seven pound sample at the rate of s26 90 per
ton. Navy Paymaster Barton's letter states
that six tons selected as above stated averaged
sl97.25 per ton gross product.

results chow that even the refuse ore of this

The mint at Philadelphia determined the

CUNNINGHAM's REPORT.

The property comprises two mines, called
lively.
The company has developed both these mines
as follows A shaft having been sunk to the
depth of 6S feet on the Tommanolta, and one
to the depth OF 1872 feet on the Ellen Jane, with
levels running parallel with the vein so feet
below the surface and on the vein northeast
and southwest. The properties are very Hat
tcring, rs will be seen by the reports of experts
and assays. There Is now no doubt that this
will be u iirstclass paying property.
The Ellen Jane is situated on the southeast
extremity OF the Music Mountain range, d.
mensions 600 feet in width by 1900 feet In
length has one shan 1872 feet deep and sew
eral open cuts, all of which show pay ore The
Tommlnotta is an extension OF the Ellen
Jane.
This mine has also been partially developed
by shaft 60 feet and several of lesser depths,
also open cuts, all showing pay ore. rhe
veins on both properties crop bold aud strong,
and there is no reason TO doubt that Il very
large aud rich ore body LAYS not far beneath
the depth now reached, which Is also the
opinion Of the best experts and miners who
have been on the property.
water has been the great drawback to the
developing OF mines in this range, but that has
now bee n set at rest, as water was found In the
Ellen Jane shalt at the depth of l2l feet and
growing stronger as depth Is obtained, and in
short time sinking pump will be required
10 keep the mine Tree.
The ore has continued 10 the bottom of shaft,
increasing in width and richness
In conclusion, | would state that these veins
are true fssures, and have 40 doubt the Rest
